Lambeau Field is set for Sunday evening’s Packers vs. Cancer game against the Dallas Cowboys, with kickoff scheduled for 7:20 p.m. The event is designed to recognize cancer survivors, patients, and loved ones, while supporting research efforts at UW Health | Carbone Cancer Center.

This year marks the 10th season of Packers vs. Cancer, with the Packers and UW Health | Carbone Cancer Center partnering to raise awareness for all cancers and to support research focused on rare and complex cancers. Packers said cancer survivors and their families will be honored during the game.

A survivor-focused moment is planned at halftime, when nine cancer survivors treated at UW Health | Carbone Cancer Center will take part in a special bell-ringing ceremony at Lambeau Field to celebrate their milestone.

Along with the in-stadium recognition, the campaign includes fan-facing fundraising activities. The Packers Pro Shop will sell a Packers vs. Cancer hat, with $5 from each hat going directly to UW Health | Carbone Cancer Center. Through October, Packers said shoppers can also add a $1 or more donation to any purchase at the Pro Shop.

The team also outlined key gameday logistics for Lambeau Field, including that the stadium and its points of sale are cashless and that guests without credit/debit cards or contactless payments can use a cash-to-card conversion station in the Atrium. Packers also reminded fans that walk-through metal detectors will be used at gates and that fireworks will be launched from the stadium roof one hour before kickoff.
